well it really doesnt matter if its a UC based series or the much anticipated Unicorn Gundam.. As long as its a gundam series I will definitely watch it and collect model kits for it.

actually i am also a fan of UC storyline and i always imagine how good it is to have a series based on the original storyline.

i bet everyone will agree that these elements shall be needed :

-if its a UC storyline they need to cut off the newtype crap; its better to watch ordinary pilots battle without any crappy specialties like glowing lights or esp.. just like the stardust memory 0083 story.. and not to mention the feddies lost on this one..

-no artificial humans or emotionally unstable villains

-a protagonist with a solid character and not too emotional
( im not into hating seed infact i liked the gundams but its full of dramas)

WELL GUYS I BECHA ; ANOTHER MASKED MAN WILL EMERGE ON THIS STORY AND WE CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE ITS LIKE A TRADEMARK OF GUNDAM SERIES…

NO MASKED VILLAIN MEANS ; ITS NOT A GUNDAM SERIES HEHE LOL

Adults? God forbid that the main protagonists are above drinking age. Is Tomino directing this, or at the very least supervising? If so, then hell yes! An Amuro or Chris cameo would just make my day. I’m glad I’m not her only fan.

It would be even better if Tomino was still in his Kill em All phase, but beggars can’t be choosers. I don’t like one bit of post-2000 Gundam, but UC has never failed to deliver. I’m looking at you,0080!

I’m quite excited about the older style art. It’s more rugged and rough and adds a sense of reality that would have otherwise been blown away by pink explosions.

As long as it is somewhere between good and EPIC I will be happy the stars seem to be aligned for this one and I am hopeful that this Change that we can believe in to a 24 year old woman will pay handsome dividends as opposed to the lack lusture male protagonist pilots that we have seen take the lead in the last three major Gundam series.

Thank goodness Sherri is 24.

mm, i feel both hopefull yet anxious with concern about this, the lack of teenagers is a big plus as is the shift to U.C and a woman piloting, even so i can’t help but feel that sunrise might try to bank all success of this on nostalgia alone which if they do it’s gonna be a sad day for gundam

that said the slight redesign of the zeke pilot suit looks nice, as does sherri and the RX-78-7.

@Kherubim
Indeed unlike their AU counterparts those women actually had more than a glimmer of intelligence.

@Zentari
Indeed the age bracket gives us reason to believe.

@masterkeyes2
Probably though it’s not going to be mandatory.

@lubczyk
In Gundam Treads are not the best thing in the world, not even 8th MS Team was that kind to the poor Guntanks…

Traditional colors…what can you do?

@Myssa Rei
Indeed though just one I would like to see them use German Field Gray.

The Red, Blue, and White paintjob of the Gundam was ORIGINALLY only for demo purposes, at least in-universe, but with the success of the RX-78-2, it became pretty much a staple of the Gundam prototypes that were rolled out. The G3 Gundam with its gunmetal grey paint job, is supposed to represent the ‘default’ color of the suit had it gone into proper production.

How about we get rid of the legs and just add tracks? Tracks beat bipedal designs in every conceivable category. Bipedal design is very inefficient and creates a huge profile which is dangerous on a line-of-sight battlefield. Also, add some camo, there’s no military reason to have a red/blue/white color scheme for a war machine.

So I am curious in order to follow this series when it is released; I should probably watch Gundam 0080 then?

Well, I’ll be damned ; a mecha show that looks like it’s gonna pull it’s weight.

@Crusader: High standards are always expected of female MS pilots in UC, only a select few (Emma, Chris, Lady Haman) make the cut.

@Myssa Rei: Isn’t it sad, Acguy?

@Mechabao: Gelgoogs, Rick Doms and Galbaldy Alphas should be a challenge…

@Myssa Rei
Well what do ya know I think you are right.

@Mechabao
May the GMs in this series be as lethal as the GM Snipers in 8th MS Team.

@ghostlightning
No the commander is the 32 year old, the young 24 year old woman named Sherry seems to be the tentative pilot, she is supposedly a test pilot that was recently attached to Phantom Sweep…

I hope you are utterly wrong, but will take delight in having Sherry as the pilot of the Gundam RX-78-7.

Chris make a cameo? YES YES YES!

The mecha designs look real sweet too. And the lead pilot for the Feddies is a 32-year old like me. Whadd’ya know, even an old dog like me has his day. Here’s to hoping his trauma from losing his whole team doesn’t make him whine too much.

I’m wishing for stoic, South Burning style of regret (remember how he rued the loss of relatedness with his wife?).

Here’s to hoping that they stay true to the UC timeline’s realism/tech war and not make the Gundams in this one so overpowered that it turns into some animated parody of an FPS/RTS game where you have all the cheats enabled in multiplayerand owning “n00bs” left and right like in Wing/GS/GSD/00.

… Is that an Acguy on the upper right corner of the photo? And being used as a pageweight?
